The imperial violence America willfully enacts abroad returns home to boomerang back upon the heads of its own occupants. Our leaders gleefully saturate the media with their hegemonic, foreign terror campaigns, numbing the rest of us to the inherent tragedy and obvious farce of our government’s actions and manufacturing consent towards the use of those same exact technologies, weapons and barbaric tactics against their own population. The cops act as an occupying army to be wielded without second thought against…

An orgiastic death march. 

Gnawing, biting pain and numbing, overwhelming pleasure fighting for control of the meager flesh. Frail muscles kept warm and working only through the constant supply of rich, red blood. Blood that flows too freely depletes the living soul.  

Fighting pleasure only to accept pain: the single accepted form of survival in a sick world. To give into the flesh is to lose oneself in the flesh. The body lives in the present and the present…

The fraught, tight-wire tension between revolutionary hope and nihilistic indifference with apocalyptic consequences balanced precariously on the line for all biological beings. The catastrophic and enigmatic consequences of our current, ignorant actions bearing full, consequential fruit — leaving individuals without the choice of community or personality in battle-torn, morally-bent wastelands where anything other than survival is deemed frivolous and unnecessary.

The destructive death cults that run our societies pull us into wars and sacrifice us to the deserts and to…

Contains perhaps three of the most stunning scenes American hand-drawn animation has to offer. Cannot if I have watched this in its entirety, but its cultural footprint is clearly very strong; I recognized a lot of the music and have had a wide variety of disbelieving reactions to the fact that I did not grow up with it during my upbringing. On reflection, however, I’m not surprised at all that my parents shied away from this one. Love how…

Genuinely concerning how many people I see praising this movie when it is so clearly and deeply anti-women. 

1.) Uses the question of consent as a plot device to thrill/confuse/concern the audience. 
2.) Portrays a deeply complex and controversial kink (CNC) in a strange light AND concerning circumstances (e.g under the influence, multiple gray layers of manipulation/types of abuse(r)s; perpetuating stereotypes surrounding many elements of LGBTQIA+ and BDSM culture, etc.)
3.) Encourages viewers to doubt/investigate victims and women’s claims about their…

I am five. I hug my best friend as I leave his home from a play date.

“Boys don’t touch each other like that,” My father warns.

I don’t ever go back. I am eight. 

“Men shouldn’t marry men,” my father protests.

I don’t understand why someone can’t love someone else. Doesn’t matter, it didn’t last long. Proposition 8 is ed. 

“Good riddance…”

My body is changing. My father has already planned my life. I am twelve. 

“Marriage is between a…
